Is a Riverside Park Necessary The question raised by a number of West Richmond people as to whether the city shall float a bond issue to transform the unsightly west side dump into a park site is one that deserves the serious and unbiased consideration of every Richmond citizen. There is not the slightest doubt that the river valley dump is an intolerable nuisance and that some remedy should be applied to it, but is the remedy suggested by certain West Richmond residents, a municipal bond issue to provide a park, the best obtainable? Or shall the public indorse the policy of the administration in this matter, which opposes a bond issue, but advocates an appropriation of $1,000 next year to abate the nuisance? President Bavis estimates that to transform the dump site into a park would mean the expenditure of between $30,000 and $35,000. He is probably not far off in his estimates. He argues that such a large sum of money could be more wisely expended. While Mr. Bavis has been sharply criticised for his attitude in this matter by many people, and by certain political interests opposed to the administration, who have seized upon it greedily for "campaign material," a student of municipal affairs must approve of the stand taken by the

president of the board of public works. One who considers this question from an unbiased standpoint must reach the conclusion that it is poor policy to invest money in parks at the present time, or in the immediate future. Private business concerns are only making the most necessary improvements at this time. Unbiased citizens also realize that so long as the state of Indiana permits the Whitewater river and other streams to remain sewage cesspools, riverside parks are out of place. Sewage disposal plants to prevent pollution of streams precede the beautification of river banks. And when the pollution of the Whitewater river has been discontinued then let the people of Richmond consider the beautification of the entire river valley within the city limits and not one small section of it. President Bavis of the board of public works wisely suggests that there are many more important things to spend $20,000 on than a new park. The city of Edmonton, Calgary, Canada, a few weeks ago issued $25,000 in bonds, but not to provide another park for that city, which has the same population as Richmond. Calgary is to spend its $25,000 for the construction of a municipal plant where bricks can be made for paving the streets of that hustling municipality. Edmonton citizens agree that this is money well expended, but it is safe to wager that now, before its new brick making plant is in operation, Calgary has more miles of paved streets than Richmond has. Ten thousand dollars of the proposed $30,000 park bond issue would provide a new automobile ladder truck for the fire department, one of the major requirements for a reduction in fire insurance rates for this city, but which cannot be provided next year because of the city's limited revenue that is unless the administration continues its wise, but unpopular economy program, successfully carried out this year. How far $30,000 would go in providing a better storm sewer system is too well known to mention.

MYSTERY SHROUDS GREATEST

WORLD'S

HISTORY

BY HERBERT TEMPLE, , European Manager of the International News Service. LONDON, Sept. 9. Perhaps never before In history was a great war fought with Buch secrecy as the great Btruggle now going on among England, France, Russia, Belgium, Servia, Germany and Austria. The whole affair Is being shrouded in deepest mystery and the issues befogged and beclouded at every step. Every possible effort is being made by every government involved to keep their people and the rest of the world from getting an inkling of what is happening in the theatres of war. Even the meagre statements issued by the French war office, the British Press Bureau and the war offices of Germany and Russia as so intricate and ambiQuous, so involved and roundabout in their wording, that they convey little Information. Portions of the British public today showed a disposition to be impatient and skeptical, because of the scarcity of information. They hinted that the government was reticent because it had something to conceal. They argued that if the British expeditionary force in France was victorious, the War Office would have no hesitancy in giving out the facts. It was pointed out that when the British fleet

worsted the Germans off Heligoland and sank some of their ships, the Press Bureau gave it out quickly enough. Hence, they said, the deep and almost unbroken official silence of the last few days bodes no good for the forces of the Allies. In Paris conditions are no better. The French War Office gives out only short statements and they lack posit! veness of detail. The French people are clamoring more boisterously than the British that they be given news of what is going on at the front.

In England, the newspapers are pub

lishing all they can get, in all the cities and towns and the rural population is as well, or as ill, informed as the people of London. But in France even

the little news that the Parisians ob tain is not passed on to the provinces,

There are no telegraphs and no newspapers in rural French. Up-to-date and the war has been going on about five weeks these official bureaus of the warring nations have told the world, through the news correspondents have no recourse but to take what is given them and sometimes have even that mutilated by the censors, has been told daily stories of fighting on the French frontier between the Germans and the British and French allies; and of fighting on the German frontier between the Germans, Austiians and Russians.

CARNIVAL BARKERS ATTRACT HUNDREDS

RALSTONJAY COME Democrats Pleased With the Prospect of Date. Wayne county Democratic leaders have been greatly pleased with the word received from state headquarters that Governor Ralston is to- deliver a political address in Richmond some time during the campaign, the exact date to be announced later. Wayne county Democrats have also been assured that their demands for other prominent speakers in the county this fall will be heeded.

One of the largest crowds ever witnessing a carnival in this city attended the Rice and Dore water Carnival on the lot opposite Glen Miller park last evening. The shows were officially opened last evening as on Labor day, which was to be the first day of the carnival, several of the shows had not arrived. There are sixteen shows besides the other side attractions. The water carnival itself, which is a part of the group of shows, is of high order. Since there is no gate charges, it is impossible to know exactly the number of persons witnessing the carnival last evening but the crowd has been estimated from 2,500 to 4,000.

Just the Help Needed to Orefw come Worst Troubles.

Charles Carter, who "borrowed" $80 from Benjamin Vick on July 25, while Vick was asleep, was given a chaifce to make good by Judge Fox today. The young man admitted in circuit court that he had taken the money and had gone to Dayton, where he spent $12. When he returned here fear of his arrest caused him to return the remainder. He was later arrested and has been in jail awaiting trial for a month. Carter promised to stop drinking and to correct his other bad habits. The charge against him was not dismissed, and his freedom will depend entirely on his good behaviour.
